This article says: "One of their hallmarks was to take a familiar standard and play the theme in mixed meters, treating it alternately as a waltz and straight 4/4 for several bars at a time. This brought a modern edge to such standards as Cole Porter's I Get a Kick Out of You."
What songs other than that one was this applied to? Sure, "I Get a Kick Out of You" is famous, but offhand, I can't think of other songs with multiple time signatures that they did. --dfrankow 21:02, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
"Love is a many splendored thing" receives a similar 3/4 || 4/4 treatment on the album "Clifford Brown & Max Roach at Basin Street" (1956). I thought I had heard a third song done in this style, but can't put my finger on it just now. Perhaps two songs recorded in this fashion doesn't qualify it as a "hallmark of their style". From the liner notes of "Brown & Roach Incorporated" (1954) I quote:
"Thad Jones, the great Detroit trumpet man, was responsible for the original routine on "I Get a Kick out of You", with its 3/4 effects, its rubato and syncopation; Sonny Stitt, another Detroiter and an old friend of all concerned, introduced it to Max & Clifford."
What can I say? If someone wants to remove the reference I can't object; unless I find a 3rd song...

[edit] Sandoval
I removed phrase about Sandoval "(no mean tribute, from a man who warrants serious consideration for that honour himself)". This is purely subjective and has no relevance in the Clifford Brown article. Reporting the fact that one trumpet player deems another one of the greatest is different.
